This page lists all professors who give lectures at the University of Potsdam as part of the astrophysical curriculum. Many more scientists, postdocs and PhD students at the university and at the non-university institutions also actively contribute to these teaching activities with seminars, tutorials and laboratories. The university is central to academic instruction. The expertise of the non-university institutions in a huge variety of topics has made Potsdam a location that is internationally renowned for its astrophysical research. You can find more information on research subjects and on research groups outside the university and in part beyond astrophysics as well on the websites of the individual institutions.
